Why you should cruise

Post navigation

I know I’m late but happy new year! 2018 is going to be a good one. I can feel it—a lot of big changes to come. Most importantly a lot of new travels! I’m super excited to write about the adventures this year has in store. With that at hand, this post is going to the answer the question my family gets often when it comes to traveling. “Why do you guys cruise so often?” Plain and simple: it’s easy.Everyone has probably thought about a cruise as an option for vacation. The commercials seem fun and action packed. There’s the kids running around, the fancy white table cloth dinners, bartenders pouring drinks, and ALWAYS a zip-lining or water slide shot. It all looks too good to be true, right? Well, let me tell you they’re not *that * exciting, they are fun, but it’s what you make of it essentially. When cruising your housing, food, and transportation is covered. AKA the three main budget guzzlers. The rest is up to you!

When choosing which cruise line to sail with a great foundation to follow by is the destinations that the ship will stop at, or the type of party you’re traveling with. We tend to lean more towards Royal Caribbean, especially if we are traveling with a larger group. Royal seems to have a livelier itinerary and greater amenities. They’re a great line to cruise with if you’re traveling with family or for a special occasion. Their new ships are bigger than ever and can be overly flashy at times. Overall a great company to go with for families and varying group sizes.

My family has been fortunate enough to experience a few different lines, including the two above. These two are our favorite due to their accessibility to various locations in a week, their onboard activities, and overall experience. When it comes to cruising it’s definitely a different lifestyle. You’re allowed to let your freak flag fly and kind of just let go. To really enjoy yourself I highly recommend embracing the cheesiness of the activities (mostly line dancing honestly) and onboard entertainment. Once you’re able to do that it will definitely be a good time. Explore the ship, pop into the varying onboard activities they have, and make new friends.

Whoever you choose to sail with, wherever you sail to make the best of your time because remember you’re all stuck on the same boat. Embrace the cheesiness, have a couple of drinks, eat as much as you want and by the end of the week you’ll be saying
